Field of Battle

Field of Battle, Designed by Brent Oman and published by Piquet, Inc., the Field of Battle system stands as one of the most respected horse-and-musket wargaming frameworks of the modern tabletop era. Originating from the broader Piquet gaming philosophy, Field of Battle streamlined classic card-driven mechanics into a single, cohesive system that masterfully simulates command friction, the fog of war, and battle momentum without forcing players into exhaustive chart lookups or micromanagement.

On the Workbench – Reinforcements 6th Jan 2026

On the Workbench

A quick dispatch to show what is currently occupying the desk.

The recruitment drive for the Third Silesian War project has reached another significant milestone with a substantial influx of 6mm lead from Hinds Figures Ltd. These reinforcements provide the massed formations required for our upcoming Black Powder engagements.

Freshly arrived and added to the painting queue:

Prussian Cavalry

  • Prussian Cavalry: A full 72-figure cavalry brigade to bolster Frederick's mobile strike force.

Austrian Infantry

  • Austrian Infantry: A massive 160-figure infantry brigade, providing the solid "whitecoat" wall for the Imperial centre.

Austrian Cavalry

  • Austrian Cavalry: A further 72-figure brigade of Imperial horse to challenge Prussian dominance on the flanks.

With over 300 figures in this single delivery, the scale of the project is truly beginning to manifest. These reinforcements will allow us to field multiple brigades per side, moving the Muskets & Magnification battle reports into the realm of grand-tactical operations.
